Lesson Learned

YHC had finished a little pre run but no other PAX at the post time of 630 at Star City @ Wasena Park . Thought maybe they changed it to 7 and failed to update, or maybe due to the weather. Even though it had stopped raining for almost an hour. Decided to keep myself busy running up and down the steep hill around the corner up to Wasena Ave. Came back at close to 7 and still no other PAX. These Roanoke guys must be a bunch of softies, it was barely a drizzle.

YHC skipped the warmarama since I had gotten plenty of running in.

Broad jumps across the parking lot and bear crawl back.

I wasn’t getting into it with the right intensity so I decided to kick it up a notch. Grabbed the weighted vest and did a set of stiletto squats on the curb. Run a lap and repeat.

Ran into the neighborhood and made the climb up to Wasena Ave again. Found a nice hill and did spider man mountain climbers at the top and merkins at the bottom. Bernie Sanders up the hill each time. Did this 6 times.

Made my way back to the truck and still no other PAX. Did a couple more sets of stiletto squats and merkins.

Put the vest away and hit the greenway. Did about 2 miles stopping 6 times for chair dips.

Back to the flag for some stretching and that was it.

Shortly after, I received a text from one of the regular PAX. Turns out they audibled to a parking garage due to the weather. I learned my lesson. Always reach out beforehand when downrange, to confirm details of a workout.
